There is a scheduled outage on blogger. So I am writing this blog on word and I can post it when they are sorted. I find it is a good practice to write blogs on word first anyway. One, for the spell check and two, because it is easier to lose a post on blogger then it is on word.

The weather is fantastic in Cardiff today and it was equally as beautiful yesterday. The weather seemed even better then it was because I found out that Luke is coming to Cardiff on February 22nd!!! I hope the weather continues to be nice so it’s not too miserable for him digging. He got a job offer a few days before I left Sk. It’s for a job he applied for over 6 months ago. I like the way the world works sometimes.

I now have almost all my marks back from school and it looks like I am going to pass. I got three fantastic marks, two mediocre marks and one mark which I am not happy with at all. In one sense it is good that the mark has pissed me off because it really has made me want to improve my writing.

I often do my work quite quickly and once it has passed the good enough test of me reading it through once or twice I hand it in. Bad, bad Nicole. Sometimes it really does end up being quite good but sometimes it ends up being mediocre.

There is nothing worse then mediocre. I like things to be great or terrible. Mediocre is so average and stale and doesn’t require me to take extreme measures. You can’t yell or cry with mediocre. You can’t get crazy drunk and have an excuse. You can’t go buy a pack of cigarettes and sit in a dimly lit bar soaking in your misery. You can't lock yourself in your room for three days and refuse to eat. Mediocre is good for me but mediocre makes me feel trapped.
